Kit

Clojure web framework made of modular libraries, started from a project template.

Kit is a Clojure web framework that its README describes as a template with a set of libraries. A new application is created from the kit-clj template with the neil tool, and the libraries are published on Clojars, where the core library is kit-core. Kit is built on Integrant, and the libraries cover database access for PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite, and Selmer templating. The Luminus site names Kit as its successor.

Applications run on the JVM. The documentation says Kit requires JDK 11 or greater, builds a standalone jar with the Clojure CLI, and shows that jar started with java -jar. The deployment guide runs the jar as a service that starts when the system boots.
